Anomaly Warzone Earth‘s single-player experience got an upgrade to multiplayer last year on the PC with Anomaly 2. And now, according to the PlayStation Blog, it’s coming soon to the PlayStation 4. Now you can do more than just tower offense – you’ll be playing tower offense vs. tower defense.

11 bit studios’ Pawel Miechowski had a lot to say about the game at the PS Blog:

Anomaly Warzone Earth was one of the first tactical, reversed tower defense games in the world, where you didn’t control the towers (aliens), but rather the attackers (human forces) and defended Earth. In Anomaly 2, the story continues right after the invasion of Earth in 2018. Our planet is controlled by the aliens, and humankind is almost extinct. Those who managed to survive are grouped in convoys. Your convoy is called Yukon. …You’re again playing as Commander, controlling him on the battlefield and supporting the units in your convoy with four special abilities which you deploy during missions.

For a full explanation of all the new features, check out the rest of his comments at the PS Blog.

The original Anomaly: Warzone Earth turned the tower defense genre upside-down – literally, because you played as the creeps fighting against the towers. It was a fun, challenging and popular game, with fans demanding a sequel. Well, Polish developer 11 Bit Studios has happily complied with the aptly named Anomaly 2, highlighted by its killer feature: creeps versus towers multiplayer. (more…)

The original Anomaly: Warzone Earth was a crazy fun twist on the ubiquitous tower defense genre, placing you as the creeps fighting against the towers. So it is very exciting to learn that Polish developer 11 Bit Studios is putting the final touches on a sequel, aptly named Anomaly 2, highlighted by what should be its killer feature: creeps versus towers multiplayer. Oh, yeah, you read that right. (more…)

11 Bit Studios’ Anomaly 2 has gone from announcement to beta to release date in record time. Yesterday, the developer revealed that the “tower offense” sequel will be available for the PC, Mac, and Linux on May 15.

Best of all, players that pre-order the game before its release will receive 10% off the already low $14.99 asking price (that’s $13.49 for the math haters in the audience). And players who buy it through Anomaly2Game.com will receive an additional bonus gift on launch day.
